Telstra officially launches its national Wi-Fi network

Telstra will officially launched its national Wi-Fi network on Tuesday, with the telco dubbing the offering ‘Telstra Air’ and revealing that customers will be able to access an international network of wireless hotspots.

In return for sharing a portion of their bandwidth, customers of the telco who opt-in to the Telstra Air service get free access to Internet access at the hotspots.

Telstra revealed it has partnered with Wi-Fi provider Fon. Telstra Air members will be able to access 15 million Fon Wi-Fi hotspots overseas in 18 countries, including the UK, Spain, Brazil, Japan, France and Germany, the telco said.

The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.

My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
